Re: Last horror movie you watched?

Simon Says (2006) - 6/10. A weird slasher flick with Crispin Glover (hence why it's weird) as the main antagonist/killer. We get lots of pot-smoking, douche-y teens, a few decent (yet silly) kills. Worth a one-time watch, I think.

Prophecy ('79) - 8.5/10. Damn good monster movie! Best described, in my opinion, as, "How The Attack of The Killer Shrews should have been made!" Beautifully shot and acted...just with some cheesy (but ultimately pretty cool) looking bear-monsters.

The Boogens (1981) - 5/10. Yaaawwn! The 80's monsters looked pretty sweet, but they only appear near the end of the film. This could have been a much more exciting visionary experience than it actually was.

The Plague of the Zombies (1966) - 7/10. This was a decent voodoo zombie flick. It feels good to pop in "an original zombie" film every once in awhile. There's a couple of cool graveyard scenes, some decent acting, and a worthy-enough story to at least maintain some semblance of the average viewer's attention.

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET [2004] rewatch

Been a damn long while, a good 7 months [yeah to me that extremlu long hahahaha] O had't watched it but it's on TV now so I'm glad. The only thing is it's in gucking Frebcg, ah well whatever, would be crazy to complain, it's my mother languafe. Just that Freddy's voice is MUCH better in english like it's always the case with translations. VO is much better than anything. ALWAYS!!!

Not my favorite either, it's the 2 but still AWESOME. Reminds me of the first time I saw it, I DIGGED FREDDY RIGHT AWAY!!! He's my favorite Horror character of all times with Samara from The Ring. He's so damn EVIL!!! On yeah, YAY, Hurrah Freddy, HURRAH!!!

Re: Last horror movie you watched?

Last two films I watched was a cinema screening of Haxan: Witchcraft Through The Ages (1922) at the Edinburgh Filmhouse, with a live electronic score.

It was certainly very interesting - just like watching a silent film version of a documentary. Some of the imagery might seem a little camp and silly today, while at other times the use of such techniques as stop motion - some of which reminded me of some of Ray Harryhuasen's films - was quite effective and held up well. I also particularly felt the message it conveyed, certainly towards the end, was very profound, considering it still has strong relevance today and if you have seen this film you will know what I mean.

Overall a 8/10.

While it wasn't a film experience the next day I went to the Witchcraft exhibition at the Edinburgh Museum of Modern Art and saw many cool visual paintings and woodblocks of ancient interpretations of witchcraft when it was genuinely believe to exist, including artistic interpretations of the three witches in Macbeth. What was most interesting was seeing a book with handwriting by the real Witchfinder General, Matthew Hopkins, justifying his hunt and torture of accused witches. Overall it was well worth going to, as it provided a informative context surrounding the historical issue of witchcraft and its relationship with past societies during the middle ages and up to the middle of the 19th century.

I then watched Night of The Lepus (1972) with our sites own guys and gals last night. Unlike other films who's ridiculous premises make them fun this was also ridiculously awful and despite some specific moments quite boring. The highlight though was the scene when a cop rides up in front of a drive in cinema screen and yells at everyone 'We need help to combat giant killer rabbits on the loose' and then every car inexplicably follows the direction and leaves without question. That scene made my laugh no end.

3. House on Sorority Row - cool movie. Could have done a lot more with the killer though, hopefully they did in the sequels.

4. Silent Night, Deadly Night - strange in a way because the killer was the main character, the audience knows him and he kills random people after the initial 4 kills. Not a lot of tension because of that, but some creative kills.

I never saw most of these movies because between 78-82 I was heavily into slasher flims and got burned out. I considered some of these rips offs of Halloween and FT13th. I passed on them but it's cool to finally get to see them now.

Halloween (2007) - Always have been a fan of this one. Michael's background story growing up is easily the most interesting part of the film, for me. But even the second half of the movie is pretty solid.

Gun Town (2009) - Ace's badass low-budget horror picture, which he was cool enough to give us a few tid-bits on here and there at H-Fest. The flick's main villain, Frank Bailey Jr. is an interesting and mysterious character. One who looks cool and whom the audience is left wanting to find out more about near the end of the film.

Cemetery Man - Always has been a very fun, quirky horror favorite of mine. Watching this with the group was a good time. Long live Dellamorte and Gnaghi!

Re: Last horror movie you watched?

Last Days on Mars 9/10 holy crap! That's right kids 9/10. I had completely forgotten the plot and watched it, OMG!!!! I'm not saying anything, just watch it. Except for Horror Snobs who will undoubtedly trash it. You know who you are.
